Packs of shrink tubing in Lidl
 

Seen in Lidl today, plastic boxes with (Ithink) 60 lengths of various diameter shrink tubing. Forgotten price ,maybe £2.99 Les

Thanks for the tip-off Les - I'll pop down to Lidl and have a look tomorrow.

They are also often on offer from tool tables at flea markets.
There is not much in it price wise.

I shall check out the Cockermouth Lidl that opened yesterday!

Happened to be in my local Lidl earlier and couldn't resist picking up a box of shrink fit tubing. 127 pieces varying in length from 40 to 85mm with unshrunk diameters between 2 and 13mm. All black at £2.99 including useful plastic box. Not bad value. Various other £2.99 boxes including mixed lots of various types of screw-in hooks, rubber O rings and jubilee clips. All useful stuff.

These crop up from time to time.
Bought these last year for similar price.

I got a box of these for £5 inc delivery which was cheaper than going to Lidl for me: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CKHXWR9/

Very nice stuff - as good as the stuff I was paying that for a strip from RS.

Unfortunately, drew a blank at our shiny new store.

Thanks for the tip off, got a pack from the local emporium today.

I’ve occasionally used the Lidl variety, which were (and maybe still are) adhesive-lined and of very good quality.

Re: Packs of shrink tubing in Lidl

Re: Packs of shrink tubing in Lidl
 

Still at the (new) Stockport store, got some today...

Lidl "shrink tubing"
 

Lidl are currently doing a box of heat shrink tubing, 127 pieces of various sizes for £2.99. Its in a plastic case, somewhat bigger and longer than a VHS video cassette with compartments. The box could perhaps be used for component storage once empty. I just purchased a box because I was low on the stuff anyway and I may not be placing an order with an electronics supplier for some time. Not seen this offered in there before so thought it might be worth a mention it in case it might be of help to other members. I have no connection other than been a regular weekly shopping customer.

Yes found these while just browsing....almost walked past it. £2.99 for 127 assorted pieces. Why 127......??

Anyway can't grumble at the price and should last for years. I never seem to have enough of the size I want.....!

I see the mods have helpfully moved my thread. Sorry I didn't spot the other one as I didn't think to look or post in 'Where to get sets and parts'. Noted for future reference! I also wondered why 127. Why not a nice round number like 100 or 120? Picked mine up at the Coalville, Leicestershire store. Having removed the large label wrapped around the box which provided a more detailed look at the contents, I wish that there were rather more of the smaller diameter pieces included in there. I suspect these are likely to get used up first and well before the large diameter pieces. I guess it will depend on the job at hand though.

127 is one less than a 'nice round number' to me.

Re: Packs of shrink tubing in Lidl
 

I've noticed that both Lidl and Aldi do these box selections from time to time. Rivets/O rings/Heat shrink / and uncle Tom Cobly & all.

Re: Packs of shrink tubing in Lidl
 

Re "127" perhaps the extra "one" is the box =128

Re: Packs of shrink tubing in Lidl
 

Another thumbs up for these packs- possibly, buying the lengths you need from the usual sources might just work out cheaper but this is a very convenient pack of a useful and closely incrementing range of sizes and it could be said that the multi-section box itself is worth about a quid! I'm continually reaching for the ones I bought, I like to use them on primary-side components like switches, fuse-holders and so on when re-wiring, even if it does offend against originality.
